Very Scary People

I'm probably like most people nowadays and love a good Serial Killer documentary and Donnie Wahlberg in my opinion is a great choice for narrator. He has that voice and presence to make the show appealing. That hallway that he is standing in when he speaks reminds me of the same hallway or similar looking as the one from Saw 2 that he stared in.

Carl Eugene Watts, Wayne Williams, Samuel Little, Henry Louis Wallace, Lorenzo Gillard, Maury Travis, Eddie Lee Mosley, John Floyd Thomas, Jake Bird, Roberta Elder, Chester Turner.

Watts, dubbed by the press as the "Sunday Morning Slasher," Watts was assumed to be experiencing delusion after being diagnosed with Meningitis. When he was younger, he used to hunt rabbits and stalk his female classmates, then he committed his first murder at 15 years old. According to AP, he killed for a span of eight years claiming the lives of 14 to 100 women.

In 1981, Williams was arrested for the murders of two adult men. However, during his trial, prosecutors suggested he was also behind a string of 22 murders of children in Atlanta. Though he maintained his innocence, forensic evidence from his home and vehicle connected him to several victims. He was sentenced to life in prison, though many people still believe he is innocent.

Little is known as the most prolific serial killer not just because of his crimes but because he confessed to a large number of unsolved murders just two years before he died. Little had been killing since the 50s but was sentenced for good in 2014 for killing three women in the 80s. His DNA was then connected to another string of strangulations. In an interview with a Texas Ranger, he confessed to unsolved killings in over a dozen states bringing the total up to 93 people dead.

If they are going to profile serial killers, they should not let silly criteria such as race, gender, age of the victims filter their profiles.

I've watched & somewhat enjoyed the series until season 3's Amityville episodes but the repetitiveness has become too much to endure. The same photos, the same interviews looped, spliced, & played over & over again. Between the shows repetitiveness & the ridiculous commercial breaks, it's off my watch list & DVR record schedule.

Great, informative, and detailed. This series will leave you satisfied that every angle of the crime has been portrayed.

Very Scary People also shines new light on sometimes decades old stories and makes them feel new and intriguing.

As a bonus, many episodes are 2- part, 2 hour examinations of the subject.

Adding greatly to the texture of the production of Very Scary People is host Donnie Walhberg. Mr. Walhlberg is EXCELLENT! He has the perfect tone for this kind of show and he perfectly sets the stage for the stories.

One of the very best true crime series and the very best host , Donnie Wahlberg.

Wahlberg is a good host and the show is well produced. They have a lot of audio and sometimes video of the killers which is a big plus. They have a lot of the principals of the case talking about it which is good.

The bad is bad though. There are always people who had literally nothing to do with the case talking abotu it as if they did - including the annoying "criminal psychologists" who give us insight us dumb people would never get.

"He had a bad childhood and this brought about his inclinations to kill people as an adult."

Really? We would have never had gotten that. A lot of these people talking about the cases were most likely given the fact to read just before they taped their "interview." Most of these people weren't even born when the crimes happened.

Also the episodes are stretched to two episodes each which means you get tons of repetition. You even get the "interviewees" saying the same thing multiple times - it's annoying.

Overall the show is done well but do not forget, they did a show on Richard Klukinski, who was charged with 5 murders that we know of. It's possible he did another one or two maybe. But this guy, after he was caught, was making up so much baloney and they try to pass it off here as fact.

In his book he was supposedly running into rapists every other day and killing them. He was involved in road rage every other day and killing these people. All of these "crimes" he takes credit for were investigated and they could never find any evidence of any of them. NOT ONE. He claims he killed Hoffa. Of course it isn't true.

But this show passes it off as fact. There was one guy who said he claims he did over a hundred murders but there is no proof. That's all there was to show he was lying his butt off. The show itself pretends he did commit over a hundred murders and this is unethical and bad TV. I hate this. If you want your show to be respected, don't pass off fake information as fact. The guy killed 5 people and that's probably all there was. But for the purposes of this show they claim over a hundred. So it makes you wonder how many other episodes have incorrect or made up info.
